Do you think Nintendo would make a sequel considering how they made a sequel to Luigi's Mansion and are making an HD port of Wind Waker. If they make a sequel, the gameplay should be similar the first game and borrow the level structure from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon; the game would consist of 6 islands each with 5 stages, one boss, and a bonus stage that can only be unlocked by collecting all the blue coins just like you have to capture all the Boos in DM to unlock the bonus stages. Anyone think this could work and maybe even throw in Wi-Fi Island similar to the multiplayer mansion from Dark Moon. Here's the name of the islands

Wow SMS is the worst Mario game? What the fuck? I suppose you guys also hate SMB2 USA as well.

I didnt say that. I said how about a new Mario game.

How about Mario Adventure, a game that takes place in New York just like Sonic Adventure did with Sega back in 1999. Remember back in the 80s and 90s when the Mario cartoons and the awful 1993 movie took place in the real world in New York? Why doesn't Nintendo revisit those days?

What about Luigi's Mansion? Everyone hated that game back in 2001 and it got a sequel on the 3DS. So why can't Sunshine get one too?

Super Mario Sunshine was a one off idea (fludd) and that idea was necessitated by Miyamoto's desire to use the analog triggers in a meaningful way. I expect the new 3D Mario to be built mostly around the touch screen gimmick and be a spiritual sequel to Super Mario 3D Land (in other words, no Mario 64 2, or Sunshine 2, or Galaxy 3).

Oh man.... Mario becomes a wizard and uses a wand, touch screen, to cast his spells.... that would be awful.

I'm all up for a Mario Galaxy 3 though, or should that be Mario Galaxy Universe?

Huh? The game just used the C-stick as a camera, which I think most platformers and even adventure games do. I could see making this argument for Luigi's mansion(ironically that didn't even matter much since even that got a sequel that didn't use one), but not sunshine. The analog triggers were more integral to that than the C-stick.

Everyone didn't hate Luigi's Mansion, though. Many were disappointed we weren't getting the next evolution of Mario 64 for the GameCube launch, but that's a far cry from "hate." Once that shock wore off, it became an appreciated game, loved by some but mostly just well-regarded. Sunshine hasn't aged that gracefully.

I just prefer newer Mario games, not straight sequels. I may be a "newer" Mario fan. I liked 64. Sunshine was cool. Galaxy was amazing. I wasnt hyped for Galaxy 2, never really cared about the game. The next Mario for Wii U, Id like new territory for Mario. Something never done before. And yeah, it will probably focus on the touch screen, two screen use, Wii mote support, and the gyro sensor in the gamepad.

I would be upset if there was another Mario Sunshine and disappointed if there was a new Mario Galaxy. Nintendo can and should do much better than that. Btw Mario 2 was unique and fun, but nowhere near the masterpieces that were 1 and 3.

to clarify i don't have much of a good or bad opinion of sunshine.. i mean for me super mario 64 was the hardest even for its time.. i think mainly because of the game design.. it was good yet rigid because of the technology back then.. sunshine.. ehh.. i'd say it was probably the LONGEST 3d mario game. very explorable but not very... mario. any platforming elements to the game were passe and an afterthought rather than challenging unless you did secret shine sprites. arguably the hardest parts of the game were goopy inferno -shudders- and corona mountain and the story...bleh. i think next to super mario 64 super mario galaxy 2 was my favorite... but lest we forget one of the saddest.. most touching moments in a mario game.... like a boss

i think that despite the remakes and revists of late mario should have a new adventure maybe even a different or more abstract boss for the story... like.. how about... well idk how many of you play sonic games but ever since sonic adventure eggman has RARELY been a final boss. in fact sonic generations and colors were the only times eggman remained the main boss. in all the other games eggman was recognized in a powerful situation only to fly to close to his own success like icarus to the sun or biting off more than he can chew as he gets cast aside for a TRUE final boss. sonic adventure chaos attacks eggman and collects all 7 emeralds and drains their negative power to become the chaos gaurdian and flood the city. in adventure 2 shadow casts eggman's plans in favor of destroying the earth and humanity only to reveal that he was not the only "ultimate lifeform" but in fact an encapsulated monster hell bent on humanity's destruction laid in wait for just such a moment. sonic heroes you think its eggman but rather instead is a self modified metal sonic abusing chaos powers and copying power and strategic data from all of the active protagonists in an attempt to destroy sonic and become a metal overlord. most sonic games were like this so how about if a mario game had it so that you THINK bowser is the main target only to have him side swiped by a stronger..more devious enemy that poses a much greater threat then the koopa king did?

Sunshine improved on 64 in everyway, Galaxy was good but at what cost.

not going to lie.. i thought the story of galaxy was pretty solid especially if you ever read and watched through the stories rosalina told that were secretly revelations of her own life and the how and why of the observatory.. but the game itself was one big gimmick.. the manta ray.. the star orb, the bubble, blue stars.. even waggling to use slingshots. it was all a way for motion controls to be implemented in a mario game and while cheap they may be they didn't really detract too much from mario which i was okay with.. i dealt with it and galaxy 2 improved on both the shortness and gameplay of of the first game.

To be honest, a direct sequel to anything would be a disappointment in my book. I'm ready for EAD to surprise once again with something we haven't seen, mainly in terms of setting and level mechanic.

asymmetrical gameplay or a co-op experience through the gamepad? i'm pretty sure everyone would shit bricks for a 3d mario game with luigi in tow AT THE SAME TIME XD. how long i waited for a day when a full fledged 3d platforming game could be done with your friends. how about manipulations of your surroundings with the gamepad? nfc power ups?

Super Mario Sunshine 2? I'm still waiting for a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2. Bring back Wart! There's so much potential for a new, traditional game that takes place in a dream world. But instead, it's wasted on Mario and Luigi: Dream Team.

I love Sunshine. However, I don't expect a sequel to it any time soon...however, it is possible for an HD remake or Virtual Console release of it...at least that's what @100-Year-Old-Gamer told me...I think...he's so vague. =/

Let's just pretend Mario Sunshine never happen. It's a blemish on Mario's stellar career. Thank God Galaxy brought him back to the quality he deserves. I say Nintendo go's with an all new Mario or goes home. No sequels.

F.L.U.D.D. took speed and momentum away from Mario's progression, a staple in both Mario 2D and Mario 3D especially.

However, I still think the game was a little under-appreciated as a whole. It's the outright hardest 3D Mario (especially to 100% with the Blue Coins) so some of that difficulty transferred over to the new Mario 3D instalment would be welcome.

I'm also with Genci on this one in the sense that I think that 3D Mario U is likely to be most heavily based off Super Mario 3D Land and be a spiritual successor to that particular title.

Wow this game came out like 11 years ago and people are still bitching about how much it sucks, shame on you all! I hope 11 years from now people bitch about how games like Gears of War, Dead Space, Dead Rising, BioShock, and Call of Duty have aged very poorly!

Oh stop being so bitter. Its called comparing. Sunshine, for the majority, does not compare to the excellence of the Galaxy games. We can look back on Sunshine and say things like "Yeah, that was bad because...." or "That didn't work because...."

I'm not saying it aged poorly. I'm saying I did not like it when it was originally released. This has nothing to do with time passing. It was just my worst Mario experience. I'm not a Mario Sunshine fan. I have a lot of faith that Nintendo is going to do something fantastic with this coming Mario title.

That became Mario Galaxy. Well, that and Pikmin. And another I cant seem to remember off hand.

Well. Maybe there is another game to be made from it. It would be pretty cool if someone could manipulate the terrain via asymmetric use of Gamepad. Just tossing it out there that maybe there are some cool ideas that could make their way into a new Wii U game. Whether that game would be the next Mario, I don't know, but maybe there is still more to squeeze out of that impressive tech demo?

I thought Mario Sunshine was pretty awesome I still liked Galaxy a lot more in the end but I would be cool with a sequel to Mario Sunshine.But if I had to choose I would love a Mario 64 2 that would be bloody amazing.

I hope this happens. Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best Mario games. I liked how it had the classic format of power-ups.
